Effortlessly turn single images or exported map data into ready‑to‑play Foundry VTT scenes. Drop an image or video for the background, optionally drop a JSON export with walls and lights, and create a complete scene in seconds.
Quick Battlemap Importer is a Foundry VTT module that adds a simple "Quick import" button to the Scenes sidebar. It opens a window where you can drag and drop a background image or video and, if you have it, a JSON configuration file. The module uploads the media, applies grid settings, creates walls, lights and doors etc, and builds a new scene for you automatically.
Setting up scenes manually can be slow: uploading backgrounds, measuring grid size, placing walls, and configuring lights. This module removes repetitive steps so you can spend more time playing and less time navigating configuration windows.
